Placement Coach

Makers is the UK’s leading tech and AI training provider, dedicated to building a better future through extensive training programs. As a B Corp business, we are committed to shaping a workforce that is ready for the AI age. We offer programs in software engineering, AI adoption, early talent, apprenticeships, and workforce upskilling. Our efforts over the past decade have allowed us to grow a thriving community of over 4,000 alumni and partner with top tech professionals across the UK.

The Role: As a Placement Coach at Makers, you will play a crucial role in supporting our learners through their career journeys, particularly during the final stage of their training. Your main goal will be to help learners successfully complete their placements, demonstrate their skills in real-world environments, and secure long-term employment. This involves guiding learners from placement to the achievement of their apprenticeship, setting clear objectives, conducting progress reviews, and collaborating with colleagues and hiring partners to optimize outcomes.

Job Requirements: We are looking for candidates with proven experience in supporting learners in educational or workplace settings, particularly those familiar with apprenticeship standards and the requirements of awarding bodies like Ofsted and ESFA. You should be confident in setting goals, conducting progress reviews, and maintaining accurate learner records. Excellent stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to manage a caseload independently and prioritize effectively in remote or hybrid environments.

Benefits: Makers offers a supportive work environment with benefits including a minimum of 30 days of holiday per year, unlimited fully paid wellness leave, private medical insurance, a £500 annual learning and development allowance, and enhanced parental leave. We also provide access to weekly yoga and daily meditation sessions, company pension contributions, and a Perks at Work account for various discounts.

Diversity and Inclusion: At Makers, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our mission. We strive to create a culture of belonging for all our students and staff and encourage applications from all backgrounds, abilities, and communities.
